BODY-WEIGHT CURVES OF SQUAD B. From the data already given in table 10 it can be seen that most of the men in Squad B had a tendency to increase in weight during the academic year. These increases are shown in the body-weight curves for the men in Squad B (figs. 69 to 73). With Har, Fis, Sne, and Lon there was considerable fluctuation in the weight prior to the dietetic restriction, but in general the body-weight tended to increase. The extreme regularity of the curve following the dietetic restriction is, however, strikinq;ly significant. These men were all given a diet containing approximately 1,400 net calories. The resultant fall in body-weight is markedly uniform and to such a degree that the curves might almost be superimposed in many instances. When one considers that we deal here with men of varying initial weights and varying activities, this uniformity is indeed surprising. An exception to this uniform fall in weight is shown by the curve for Kim, whose loss in weight was less than that for any of the other men in Squad B. Kim was, however, one of the men who was most deficient Fig. 69.—Body-weight curves of Fis, Ham, and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
